Background: Sleep durations shorter or longer than 7 h are associated with cardiovascular diseases. We aimed to investigate the association among sleep duration, risk factors of hypertension, and cardiovascular disease in South Korea using data from a recent large-scale survey. Methods: Data produced by the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) were subjected to multivariate logistic analysis. This cross-sectional, nationally representative survey was conducted from Jan 1 to Dec 31, 2011, by the Korean Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Overall, 6,466 participated. Data were analyzed using STATA version 13.0 (STATA Corp LP). Results: The participants’ socioeconomic, physical, and lifestyle factors were statistically different between the two age groups (<65 yr and ≥65 yr). Shorter sleep durations were associated with hypertension in individuals younger than 65 yr of age. On the other hand, in participants aged ≥65 yr, both shorter and longer sleep durations were associated with hypertension, while shorter sleep durations were associated with cardiovascular diseases. Conclusion: Unusual sleep durations are associated with an increased prevalence of cardiovascular disease among Korean adults. The effect of sleep duration appears to be more significant in individuals with hypertension, suggesting that the management of hypertension should be prioritized in patients older than 65 year.

Uric acid is the end product of endogenous and exogenous of purine nucleotides catabolism, the serum concentrate being determined by the production and elimination ratio. Elimination is achieved through renal excretion � two thirds- and the rest through digestive way. In most studies, hyperuricemia is defined as ] 7 mg/dL uric acid in men and ] 6 mg/dL in women, and the guides for gout treatment recommend target value of uric acid under 6 mg/dL [1]. According to the NHANES ( National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey) register, the prevalence of hyperuricemia has increased by 3.2% and that of gout by 1.2% during the past twenty years[1].

Background and Objective: Limited studies have shown that elevated waist-to-thigh ratio (WTR) may be associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes and ischemic heart disease. We sought to examine the association of WTR with history of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) among US adults. Methods: A total of 11,137 men and nonpregnant women aged 20 years or older in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1999–2004 were analyzed. WTR was calculated using measured waist and thigh circumferences. A positive history of CVD was defined as having any of the following conditions diagnosed by a doctor: congestive heart failure, coronary heart disease, angina pectoris, heart attack, or stroke. Adjusted odds ratio (AOR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were obtained in logistic regression analyses. Results: The mean WTR was 1.87 for men and 1.75 for women. The age-adjusted prevalence of CVD increased with increasing WTR (p <0.05 for men and p<0.01 for women for linear trends) (Figure ). After adjusted for multiple potential confounders, there was a significant linear trend for the association of WTR with CVD among men (p <0.01), but not among women (p =0.18) (Figure ). There was a two-fold increased likelihood of having CVD comparing the forth to the first quartile of WTR among men (AOR, 2.1; 95% CI, 1.1 to 4.2). This association persisted after further adjustment for body mass index or waist circumference. Conclusions: In this most recent nationally representative sample, WTR was significantly associated with history of CVD independent of body mass index or waist circumference, particularly among men..
